Another weekend on the horizon, another round of open houses, another four picks for your consideration. They’re a mixed bag in both style and condition, ranging from a gut-renovated flip to a bring-your-contractor special, brownstone to aluminum siding. Points on the compass are the South Slope, East Flatbush, Bushwick and Bed Stuy.

Leading off is a two-family frame house in the South Slope on Webster Place, a quiet, block-long street that runs between 16th Street and Prospect Avenue. A three-bedroom duplex over a garden rental, it’s renovated in a modern style, with new dark-stained floors. The duplex has an open plan living space with an open steel staircase and a glass wall in the rear. There’s a steel-railed deck and a tree-shaded yard, and a finished basement with a laundry room.

Next up is Bed Stuy, where we encounter a 20-foot brownstone on Madison Street. As with many a Bed Stuy listing, this one’s a flip, newly renovated from top to bottom, with an owner’s triplex over a garden rental. Some original details were preserved, including a huge pier mirror and the original staircase. The parlor floor was opened up, as is the current custom; in the rear is a deluxe kitchen with marble countertops, an extra-wide SubZero fridge, an eight-burner Wolf range, dual sinks and a wine refrigerator. There’s a finished cellar, a deck, a laundry closet, a master suite with a walk-in closet, a security system and a video intercom system.

Moving over to Bushwick, we find an aluminum-sided frame house in need of work. The images show a garden level living room in good shape, with a wood floor and tin ceiling, but elsewhere attention is called for; the house is “ready to be reimagined,” says the listing. It’s a three-story with front and rear bay windows, twenty feet wide, with just over 2,800 square feet; currently it’s configured as a lower duplex and upper rental.

Last stop is East Flatbush, and a single family brick row house on East 51st Street. Or maybe you could call it a two-family — there’s a basement apartment that the listing asserts is “legalized”. Either way, it’s a modest home that looks like it could be lived in as-is, but would benefit from some updating. It’s got a living room, dining room, and kitchen topped by three bedrooms; there are parquet floors and wall moldings. There’s a rear driveway and a small garage.
